PEDIGREE            azure te

CHARLYS OFFSPRING


 

Charlys Ragtime Band, a daughter of Band of Azure, si 98, is beautiful, kind-eyed, unraced brown mare.

 

She is dam to five foalsHer oldest had three starts (one second and one third) and earned a speed index of 88 on the track. Her second is a four-year-old doing very well in barrel training in Arizona, her third, Band of Sambaso, si 95, currently has 3 wins and one 2nd from 7 starts (2007). The fourth is an outstanding 2006 filly by Rare News. Her fifth foal (by Rare News, also) is a beautiful 2007 filly.

 

Charly's dam, Its Gotta Be Charley, si 105 (by Too Tidy), is a stakes winner from Boise, ID. In 11 starts, Its Gotta Be Charley had 7 wins, 2 seconds, and 1 third. Blane Schvaneveldt stood Band of Azure in Boise in 1996, and Charlys Ragtime Band was the product of two outstanding horses.

SECOND dam, Town Of Plenty, si 86 (by Little Town, si 100) was a race winner and a stakes producer. She was dam of 7 foals, 3 to race, all winners, all ROM.

THIRD dam, Fair Nola TB (by Colonel Mack, son of Princequillo) was a four-time race winner in Thoroughbred races. Fair Nola was dam of five horses to race, 3 winners.

Charly's pedigree tells quite a story as it connects and crosses some of the most valuable blood of Quarter Horse racing history. Her lines cross at least four times to the legendary horse who has probably had the biggest impact on the Quarter Horse breed, Three Bars.

 

Charlys Ragtime Band is a beautiful, athletic mare -- and she has beautiful, correct, athletic, good-minded foals. She is correct and balanced. She has a big hip, beautiful face, and is a nice mare to work with.

 

Charly is in foal to rare news for a 2010 foal.

 

SOLD HERE 12-9-09. Charly is going to a ranch in Texas. Congratulations to her new owner!

The Offspring of Charlys Ragtime Band

 

2002 Chickadown Azure (gray filly by Easy First Down)

 

"Chicka" completed the 2004 race season with 3 outs, a speed index of 88, and a record of 0-1-1. She showed a lot of heart, a competitive spirit, and speed. In her second lifetime out, she showed her mettle and battled her way 330 yards to 2nd place, on Memorial Day at Pocatello Downs. She earned a speed index of 88 and finished a neck behind Kipella For Cash (by Kipadeucy). She came out of the gates a bit late, but the gray filly showed her grit and competitive spirit moving to the head of the field, only to be edged out by a faster filly in the last few yards. On her last out (a race in which she placed 3rd), Chicka chipped her knee. She came home, underwent very successful surgery, and is now a sound broodmare in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She has a yearling colt, First and Gol, by Gol.

 


2003 DJ Sky Soldier (brown colt by King of the Lanes)

 

"Soldier" has been preparing for a career running barrels for sometime. He is currently in Florida -- all 16+ hands of him -- and going great! He is kind and good-minded, very fast and very willing.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

2005 Band of Sambaso (gray colt by Sambaso Dancer)

 

"Sambaso" was sold to some good people in Nevada as a weanling, but right now he is in Boise, Idaho at the track for his 3-year-old year.

 

Band of Sambaso, si 102, is now a stakes-placed winning horse. He finished 2nd in the Gem County Derby. From 17 lifetime starts, 4-year-old Band of Sambaso has a record of 3 wins, 4 seconds and 1 third. He's earned $11,490.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

2006 Just A Rumor (filly by Rare News)

 

"Rumor" now belongs to a group of people in Boise, Idaho who are racing her in 2008. From just 3 starts so far at 2, Rumor has a WIN, one 2nd & one 5th place. Her speed index is 90 and she was a finalist in the Gem County Futurity! Just A Rumor has earned $3,071.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

2007 Blues News (filly by Rare News)

 

Sold to some good people in Utah who plan to race her.
